Jiang Jiuniang responded and followed Sister Wang inside.
The old lady of the Wang family had already gone to bed to rest, so Jiang Jiuniang didn't go to visit her. Instead, she went with Wang's sister-in-law to the flower hall to discuss matters.
As soon as they sat down, a girl of about ten years old brought them tea. Sister Wang introduced her, saying, "This is my daughter, Shanshan. She is the youngest child in the family and is not married yet."
Jiang Jiuniang smiled and said, "I also have a niece named Shanshan at home. She is just as diligent and capable. If there is a chance, I will definitely introduce you to her."
Thinking of Shan Yatou, Jiang Jiuniang's eyes softened.
Having been away for so long, I really miss my family.
Wang Shanshan was intrigued by this coincidence and asked, "How old is the young lady in your family, Madam?"
She's a little younger than you, about eight or nine years old.
I don't remember exactly how old he was, but he was about a year older than the dog.
Wang Shanshan nodded: "Those are a little younger than me."
After exchanging a few polite words, Wang Shanshan left, leaving only Jiang Jiuniang and Wang's wife.
"It's getting late, so I'll keep it short and sweet so as not to disturb your rest!"
Sister-in-law Wang is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush with Jiang Jiuniang; she speaks directly.
Jiang Jiuniang nodded, indicating that she could just say it directly.
“My husband said that delivering goods is fine, but we have to ensure the safety of the goods. We can’t do things that the government doesn’t allow.”
Jiang Jiuniang immediately explained, "Don't worry, the goods are absolutely safe. They are just some seafood products from here. I plan to transport them to the capital to do business, and then bring back some local specialties from the capital on my return trip. I'll open a few shops here."
Sister-in-law Wang was shocked: "Didn't Madam Jiang come here for a visit? Is she planning to stay here permanently?"
"No, I'm just staying for a few months. After that, someone will take care of things."
Sister-in-law Wang couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "Jiang Niangzi, you are really capable, unlike me, I don't know what to do all day at home."
“Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Everyone has their own way of life. If you feel that your current life is the most suitable for you, then don’t change it easily. I like doing business. When I have the right opportunity while traveling, I will open a few shops. It’s a kind of hobby.”
Sister-in-law Wang was speechless with envy. It really comes down to having a large and powerful family business. They can open shops wherever they want without considering costs or profits. They can do whatever they want, and that's precisely what makes them the most profitable.
It's true that the richer people are, the more money they make; this is something I can only envy.
Their family's life was at best decent; they had enough to eat and wear, and could even support the more than fifty members of the martial arts troupe, which was already quite good.
They can't compare to a family like Jiang Niangzi's.
“Then I’ll continue. My husband said that if there’s no problem with the goods, we’ll offer a price 40% lower than the market price. After all, we’re destined to meet. My mother-in-law also agrees. More importantly, since you’re delivering goods both ways, it’s much more convenient for you. We’re honest people, so we’ll just give you the lowest price. What do you think, Madam Jiang?”
Sister-in-law Wang looked at Jiang Jiuniang nervously, worried that Jiang Jiuniang would be dissatisfied.
Because of the long distance, the large amount of supplies, and the fact that everyone who needs them here has to use them, the expenses will be huge. Even if it's only 60% of the market price, it's still a considerable sum.
But this is indeed the lowest price they can offer; we can't just make a trip and not make any money.
Jiang Jiuniang was surprised that they would offer such a low price, only 60% of the market price, which was practically the same as not making any profit.
Seeing their honesty, Jiang Jiuniang felt embarrassed to take advantage of them, so she said, "Sister-in-law, what you're offering is indeed too low. I'm not here to take advantage of you; I'm looking for a long-term partnership, and I can't let your family keep losing out. How about this: I'll offer 75% of the market price. I'll deliver this one and see. If we're a good fit, I can sign a long-term cooperation agreement with you. It'll be a guarantee for your family and a testament to my trust in them. What do you say?"
Based on the fact that they were willing to offer such a price so readily, Jiang Jiuniang felt that they were going to establish a long-term partnership.
Sister-in-law Wang was truly surprised by this unexpected joy and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That would be the best, of course. Are you free tomorrow? I'll take you and Third Master Lu to the martial arts guild to see our people. See if you're satisfied!"
Jiang Jiuniang immediately said, "We plan to go out for a few days tomorrow and then go see it when we get back."
The other party was confident to offer to come and see the people, and he had heard from Sister Wang before that they were all experienced masters and strong young men, and that they were the best combination.
Moreover, since Sister-in-law Wang is a decent person, the subordinates trained by her husband and sons are unlikely to be too bad.
Since Jiang Jiuniang had said so, Sister Wang readily agreed, and they decided to visit them after they returned from their trip.
It was getting late, so after saying that, Jiang Jiuniang didn't linger and bid farewell to Sister Wang before returning home.
Gou'er was already excited all night about going out to play tomorrow. He hadn't asked too many questions before with Zhu Zi around, but now that it was just the family, he asked directly, "Mommy, what are the plans for tomorrow? I'm so anxious!"
"It's just going out to sea to play. Mommy will take you to play at the bottom of the sea."
Jiang Jiuniang didn't hide it from him, otherwise the child probably wouldn't have been able to sleep all night.
The dog was stumped: "Going to play in the seabed? But Mommy, I'm not very good at swimming!"
He grew up on land and rarely came into contact with water. When he was a child, his older brothers liked to bathe and play in the village river, but he was too weak to go. Later, when he fled famine to Jingzhou, he began to learn to read and write, and had even less opportunity to come into contact with these things.
"It's okay, your dad will teach you. We're going to be at sea for a few days, and he'll make sure you learn, okay?"
The dog nodded, looking forward to tomorrow even more.
Jiang Jiuniang went back and told Lu Baichuan about what she had discussed with Sister Wang. Lu Baichuan nodded and said, "I've heard of Wang's Martial Arts Company. They have a good reputation, and we're acquaintances. It would be good to have a long-term partnership."
Having been here for so long, he's not someone who's oblivious to what's happening around him. On the contrary, he listens to all sorts of things, and that often proves very useful.
"That's what I think too. Besides, Sister Wang is very honest and gave us the biggest discount. It would be great if we could cooperate long-term."
In this way, even if the Wang family's martial arts business doesn't compete with the Chen family's, they can rest easy.
Their relationship is mutually beneficial.
The next morning, before dawn, the family set off with the calf.
First they rode in a small wooden boat, and once they were far from the shore, Jiang Jiuniang took out a small luxury cruise ship from her spatial storage. The dog's eyes widened, and it kept babbling.
